Ummm, maybe if it was 1957

So 7% of population mainly the rich 1s with low kut goings and no debts.

 

That's all in the Great Reset plan, make everyone dependent on the state and therefore controlled by the state.


Anyone still think lockdowns are about saving old peoples lives? Hell no, isn't saving anyone

 

Pluto isn't a planet anymore, is it?

 

Uhh some are getting supplemental benefits because of shorter hours or temp work. Again it is almost all the lowest wage workers who were effected most by the pandemic. Not the ones with all the typical outrage.

 

Is that with rent/mortgage still in abeyance?

 

Chicken is cheap. Pretty sure Costco does not make money on those $5 or $6 chickens that they sell. So yes, you could buy one and easily get 2-4 meals out of one. But for any other type of meat, it's more expensive. If you're really on a budget, you buy the frozen vegetables and simply eat them with rice. Rice is somewhat of an empty calorie filler, but billions of people seem to live long lives on it.

My point was that it's still possible to eat a reasonably healthy although not optimal diet that is far healthier and cheaper than the frozen dinners and processed crap that is typically found in the middle of the store.

 

I have seen fruits and vegetables on sale near me but usually at 1 location and the selection is maybe a 3 tier shelf. It's usually bananas, apples and oranges. Sometimes I have seen Avocado and plantains but it very rare to see any other types of vegetables or fruits on there on discount. You would think with the thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables they bring in weekly there would be more selection and even more discounted produce but there isn't.
I know they usually cut up the not so fresh stuff before spoilage and sell it in containers or in platters for even more money than you would buy it at if you were to cut it up yourself. So the stores have a way of getting rid of it before discounting it to consumers.

 

(I didn't read the entire thread, but the premise got my attention). I invited a friend of mine over to the farm earlier today to check out how much firewood we could give him. We have a lot of dead trees around. He likes bonfires.

To the point, I've known this guy forever, and he probably has an IQ of over 150, and has always done well in IT. I hadn't seen him in awhile, and it surprised me when he said he was on unemployment and Badger Care (The Wisconsin version of free healthcare). He said he's good through 2022 as far as cash goes, and has a great new prospect for a job, so he'll be fine.

But it scared the hell out of me. If a guy like that has to go on unemployment, what does an average person do? 1400 is nothing.

 

Yes I agree but not to the extent of being able to live for FOUR months for $1400. That's my point

 

Switched the HUEL ( mix with water / milk and drink, plant based ) £77 so $100 area per month + Milk and the odd treat/pizza so food covered sub $200 per month. Supposed to be very healthy, to soon to tell.
